_______________________________________________

Joanna is as big as an elephant

It is the biggest in all of New Orleans

And yet

Joanna Joanna you know how to dance light light

Joanna is good from Louisiana

When it follows a diet it is a banana diet

And yet

Joanna Joanna you know how to dance light light

She dances light light

She jumps light light

It turns light

It is sent light light

Joanna has a weakness for stools

She consumes two or three in the evening

And yet

Joanna Joanna you know how to dance

Light
